Hi there! I would love to be able to read this post in its entirety, but whenever I click Continue, the Sun webpage comes up, with no mention of the story. My family lived in the Malcolm Mitchell House when I was a child, so I’m seeking as much background as possible about the mansion. Any information you can provide would be very much appreciated! Thank you!
The link is dead. You can try searching the sun and if that fails, contact the paper's librarian and see if you can get a reprint.
Sounds good. Thank you!
